We had the pleasure of visiting Th\u00e9r\u00e8se in her lovely light filled home in the historical Clerkenwell area of London. Full of mid century jewel tones and a cacophony of plants, Th\u00e9r\u00e8se’s open plan home is interestingly divided by varying levels. The dining space is elevated by a small open staircase above the living room which is a clever way to segregate different areas of an open plan home without having to build a wall between them. Enjoy this wander around and keep an eye out for 20th century design classics dotted throughout Th\u00e9r\u00e8se’s home!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
